From seeing it

Although he was in a dream, Xiao Ling's consciousness at this moment was extremely clear. He suddenly had a certain understanding in his heart. Under the influence of some kind of power, I fell into a dream.

"……good……"

Finally, following Xiao Ling's shouting and questioning, the originally indistinct voice suddenly became clear and came down from the sky.

"Then who are you? How did you do it?" Xiao Ling received an affirmative answer, and his face couldn't help being moved. What kind of existence is this? Communicate with him in his dreams?

"We...we...have no...maliciousness...only in this way can we communicate with you..."

The voice started intermittently, and gradually became clear and smooth.

"You entered my dream just to communicate with me?" Xiao Ling showed a slightly astonished look on his face.

"... yes... since you entered here... we have been trying to communicate with you, but unfortunately you can't hear our cries... after all, we are not the same life form as you... but you and They are different, we have finally awakened your dream subconscious, entered your dream world, and communicated with you..."

Xiao Ling finally understood.

From the time a group of them entered this mountain, there was a certain consciousness that wanted to communicate with them and was calling them constantly. This kind of power was invisible and invisible, and they couldn't feel it, but they were still affected, maybe because of his The feeling is the strongest, so they are always restless, including Pang Yan and Wang Lei, they also feel flustered from time to time, but they can't guess that the real reason is that there is some kind of mysterious power affecting them, and they want to be with them. Conscious contact.

"You haven't said who you are? Why do you want to communicate with us?"

Xiao Ling still maintained his composure, looking at the swaying giant trees all around him, and at the glowing little figures on the trees, he already realized something in his heart.

These consciousnesses that want to communicate with themselves should be these trees. It is said that ancient trees have spirits. It seems that these towering giant trees have almost become spirits after living for thousands of years. With consciousness, they can even actively communicate with humans. And because of my brain damage, some restrictions were lifted and I became different, and finally succeeded in communicating with these tree spirits in my sleep.

I'm afraid no one would believe this kind of experience, but Xiao Ling firmly believed that his guess was not wrong.

"These trees you see...are us..."

Although Xiao Ling had expected the answer from this voice, he still took a light breath after hearing the answer with his own ears.

"It turns out that you have really become spirit trees, but why do you want to communicate with us? Is there anything we can help you with?"

"...No..." The voice became lower and lower: "We are not trees that have become spirits... It's just that we have become trees."

"Huh?" Xiao Ling's expression was startled, and he suddenly looked at the towering trees around him, and at the little white figures struggling on the trees, he suddenly had a terrible thought.

"Are you..."

The voice sighed deeply, and the tone became almost human.

"We are not trees that have become spirits. We were originally human beings."

Xiao Ling took a deep breath and murmured: "Two thousand years ago in the Qin Dynasty, alchemist Xu Fu was ordered by the First Emperor to lead three thousand boys and girls on a boat to search for fairy mountains and seek longevity, but he disappeared after that..."

He looked at the little white people around him, all of them looked like boys and girls, and his mind was like lightning and thunder, and everything became clear in an instant.

"You are Xu Fu, these trees... are the three thousand boys and girls you led..."

When Xiao Ling said this answer, his heart was shocked beyond measure.

Xu Fu, an alchemist from the Qin Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago, has actually lived in modern society.

"Yes, I'm Xu Fu..." The voice also fell silent, and the tone was full of sadness.

Xiao Ling watched the towering trees all around disappear, and finally a giant tree appeared in front of him. The height of this giant tree exceeded 100 meters, and its diameter exceeded 15 meters. Intertwined, like a huge net, a white villain is trapped in the net, this white villain is about forty or fifty years old, with three long beards, and looks like a tall man with a fairy air.

"You are Xu Fu?" Xiao Ling stared at the little white figure in the giant tree.

The little white man suddenly said in surprise: "Can you see me?"

"Not bad." Xiao Ling nodded, and then told his appearance.

"This is strange. I thought... you could only hear my voice, and all you saw were trees that looked like they had come to life. I didn't expect you to be able to see my origin at a glance. This ability...but It was not given to you by the dream, it seems that you are different, no wonder there are so many people, we can only communicate with you, it turns out it is because you have opened the forbidden..."

Having said that, he suddenly stopped again, and then showed a look of excitement, and said: "We finally waited for you, it seems that we have hope for liberation."

Xiao Ling's heart moved slightly, and he said, "Relief?"

"Yes...we have gained immortality, but this is the cursed immortality. We live in pain every day. We communicate with you in the hope that you can help us get relief. From this immortality freed from the curse."

Xiao Ling finally understood the true meaning of the phrase "Longevity is like a curse" that he kept seeing along the way, and he also thoroughly understood the cause and effect.

"Although you have gained longevity, you have become trees, and you have changed from humans to plants..."

Xiao Ling took a deep breath, thinking about the thousand-year-old trees that he saw along the way, and why their outlines resembled human shapes, because these trees were originally transformed by human beings.

In front of the little white man in front of him, Xu Fu showed deep sorrow on his face, and he said in a low voice, "Yes, we thought we had discovered the fate of immortality, and glimpsed the secret of immortality, and we pursued it all the way, and finally found this place. Yes. , we finally got what we wanted, we all gained the ability to live forever, compared to human beings who can only live for a hundred years, each of us can live for thousands of years, or even thousands of years without dying..."

"But... the price we paid for this longevity is really too high, we lose our qualifications to be human, we cannot move, we cannot speak, we have transformed our life forms into plants, and our souls are imprisoned here , will never be reincarnated, and we live in pain every day.”
